Since the newest member of our family decided not to make an appearance this weekend, we decided it might be fun to go out and take our last portrait as a family of three. Debbie had found this really cool covered bridge near our house when she was driving home one day.

It turned out to be a nice scenic spot, with people hanging out in the river below the bridge, floating downstream on their inner tubes. The only downside was the fact that it was 95 degrees and 90% humidity, so after about 10 minutes everyone was covered in sweat and ready to go home to the AC.

We did manage to get a few more pictures before everyone melted, which I have included in the album below.

Back at the beginning of May, our good friends Shannon, Dave and Julia came to visit us from San Diego. Dave was out in the area for work, and Shannon and Julia decided to join him so they could all hang out with us for the week.

Here are Julia and Sophie having breakfast together.

While they were here, our neighbors across the street had a “princess party” for their three-year-old daughter, so of course we had to go. Here the girls are enjoying a little water break after playing in the bounce house.

And here are a couple of pictures of Kevin and Dave and Shannon and Debbie.

And here is Rebecca blowing out the candles on her princess cake.

Julia cheers Sophie on as she takes a run down the roller coaster.

Finally they brought out the pinata and everyone got a chance to whack a princess in the face with a bat.

Finally it was back home for dinner at the big table.

We also went to visit a farm while they were here. There were lots of goats and cows and chickens we could feed. Here’s Sophie feeding some corn to a goat and some chickens.
